Alvdal, Norway. 11.26.2011. Sigrid Ekran checks the weather report in the kitchen while her handlers, Even (middle) and Dries Jacobs (right) drink coffee. By late fall 2011 there was still very little snow in Alvdal where she lives, and Sigrid gets more and more frustrated when she can't get enough training for her dogs. Photo: Kristine Nyborg
